After being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease over a year ago, I’ve been dabbling with all sorts of different ways of eating. I’ve realized that many of the foods I’ve been eating for the past 27 years of my life has contributed to the inflammation in my body. Now, that doesn’t mean I’m gonna go […]

My mother-in-law LOVES Almond Joys. That is her candy bar of choice. It wasn’t mine until I made these mini brownie bites. They are SO cute and so scrumptious, this might have to be a regular in my kitchen. I made mine in a mini cheesecake pan. It is a little extra clean up […]

This recipe features one of my new favorite ingredients: Nocciolata! It’s similar to that creamy chocolate hazelnut deliciousness we are all familiar with (Nutella) EXCEPT it is made from organic ingredients, has no GMOs, no chemicals and no artifical flavors.

Spirulina Powder (aka algae) is packed with protein and nutrients. I add a teaspoon to all my smoothies, along with a tablespoon of chia seeds and […]

TACO SALAD PIZZA… It’s absolutely delicious and great for people avoiding gluten and dairy. You won’t miss either of those things on this pizza. This recipe features Udi’s pizza crusts and Minimalist Baker’s Dairy-free Queso in place of the cheese. I love Udi’s pizza crusts. They are the perfect texture and are thin, […]
